BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field

The present invention relates generally to an optical system, and more particularly to a compact optical image capturing system for an electronic device.

2. Description of Related Art

In recent years, with the rise of portable electronic devices having camera functionalities, the demand for an optical image capturing system is raised gradually. The image sensing device of the ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). In addition, as advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology enables the minimization of the pixel size of the image sensing device, the development of the optical image capturing system towards the field of high pixels. Therefore, the requirement for high imaging quality is rapidly raised.

The conventional optical system of the portable electronic device usually has two lenses. However, the optical system is asked to take pictures in a dark environment, or is asked to provide a wide view angle to satisfy the requirement for taking selfies through the front camera of a portable phone. In other words, the optical system is asked to have a large aperture. However, an optical system having large aperture usually generates aberrations, which causes poor imaging quality at peripheral portions, and also increases the difficulty of manufacturing such an optical system. In addition, an optical system with a wide view angle usually has higher distortion while imaging. The conventional optical system could not provide high optical performance as required.

It is an important issue to increase the amount of light entering the lens, and to widen the view angle of an optical image capturing system. In addition, the modern lens is asked not only to contain more total pixels, to provide higher image quality, but also to balance the requirements for a miniature optical image capturing system.

More specifically, the transverse aberration caused when the longest operation wavelength (e.g., 650 nm) and the shortest operation wavelength (e.g., 470 nm) pass through the edge of the aperture can be used as the reference for evaluating performance. The coordinate directions of the aforementioned tangential fan can be further divided into a positive direction (upper light) and a negative direction (lower light). The longest operation wavelength which passes through the edge of the aperture has an imaging position on the image plane in a particular field of view, and the reference wavelength of the mail light (e.g., 555 nm) has another imaging position on the image plane in the same field of view. The transverse aberration caused when the longest operation wavelength passes through the edge of the aperture is defined as a distance between these two imaging positions. Similarly, the shortest operation wavelength which passes through the edge of the aperture has an imaging position on the image plane in a particular field of view, and the transverse aberration caused when the shortest operation wavelength passes through the edge of the aperture is defined as a distance between the imaging position of the shortest operation wavelength and the imaging position of the reference wavelength.

Furthermore, for a stricter evaluation, the performance cannot be considered excellent unless the transverse aberrations of the shortest and the longest operation wavelength which pass through the edge of the aperture and image on the image plane in 0.7 field of view are both less than 80 μm.

For any surface of other lenses in the optical image capturing system, the ratio between the profile curve length of the maximum effective half diameter thereof and the thickness of the lens which the surface belonged to is denoted in the same manner.

In an embodiment, the lenses of high Abbe number and the lenses of low Abbe number are arranged in an interlaced arrangement that could be helpful for correction of aberration of the system.

An equation of aspheric surface is

z=ch ²/[1+[1(k+1)c ² h ²]^(0.5) ]+A4h ⁴ +A6h ⁶ +A8h ⁸ +A10h ¹⁰ +A12h ¹² +A14h ¹⁴ +A16 h ¹⁶ +A18h ¹⁸ +A20h ²⁰+ . . .  (1)

where z is a depression of the aspheric surface; k is conic constant; c is reciprocal of the radius of curvature; and A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14, A16, A18, and A20 are high-order aspheric coefficients.

In the optical image capturing system, the lenses could be made of plastic or glass. The plastic lenses may reduce the weight and lower the cost of the system, and the glass lenses may control the thermal effect and enlarge the space for arrangement of the refractive power of the system. In addition, the opposite surfaces (object-side surface and image-side surface) of the first to the third lenses could be aspheric that can obtain more control parameters to reduce aberration. The number of aspheric glass lenses could be less than the conventional spherical glass lenses, which is helpful for reduction of the height of the system.

When the lens has a convex surface, which means that the surface is convex around a position, through which the optical axis passes, and when the lens has a concave surface, which means that the surface is concave around a position, through which the optical axis passes.

In addition, the optical image capturing system of the present invention could be further provided with at least an stop as required, which could reduce stray light to improve the imaging quality.

In the optical image capturing system of the present invention, the aperture could be a front aperture or a middle aperture, wherein the front aperture is provided between the object and the first lens, and the middle is provided between the first lens and the image plane. The front aperture provides a long distance between an exit pupil of the system and the image plane, which allows more elements to be installed. The middle could enlarge a view angle of view of the system and increase the efficiency of the image sensor.

The optical image capturing system of the present invention could be applied in a dynamic focusing optical system. It is superior in the correction of aberration and high imaging quality so that it could be allied in lots of fields.

The optical image capturing system of the present invention could further include a driving module to meet different demands, wherein the driving module can be coupled with the lenses to move the lenses. The driving module can be a voice coil motor (VCM), which is used to move the lens for focusing, or can be an optical image stabilization (OIS) component, which is used to lower the possibility of having the problem of image blurring which is caused by subtle movements of the lens while shooting.

To meet different requirements, at least one lens among the first lens to the third lens of the optical image capturing system of the present invention can be a light filter, which filters out light of wavelength shorter than 500 nm. Such effect can be achieved by coating on at least one surface of the lens, or by using materials capable of filtering out short waves to make the lens.

To meet different requirements, the image plane of the optical image capturing system in the present invention can be either flat or curved. If the image plane is curved (e.g., a sphere with a radius of curvature), the incidence angle required for focusing light on the image plane can be decreased, which is not only helpful to shorten the length of the system (TTL), but also helpful to increase the relative illuminance.
